Tim Tindle, driving his GT 500E Promod Mustang raced to a quarter-final round finish in the JEGS Promod Challenge before bowing out to a strong Kenny Lang at the Virginia NHRA Nationals at Virginia Motorsports Park.

Entering the final qualifying session in the series’ fastest field ever, Tindle Enterprises’ racer Tim Tindle quickly assured his participation in the event, posting the quickest time and fastest pass of his stellar career.  After opening with a 6.073, 238.22, then a 5.969, 238.34 mph run in the second session, he picked up the pace even further on the final attempt, covering the quarter-mile in 5.941, 238.55, which was the fifth quickest in the class.  This marks the 2nd time in this season’s 10 races that the 2007 Rookie of the Year racer has earned a Top Five starting spot. 

“After the first qualifying session, I knew this past weekend’s event would be the quickest NHRA promod field ever,” Tindle said.  “Everyone stepped up their game and we did too.  We have a bad hotrod.  Quain and the guys have been working their butts off and it shows.  We made our first ever five-second pass during the second qualifying session and we dipped well into the fives.”

“She went 3.80s in the 8th mile and that is just impressive.  We are finally on the right track and it feels good.”

Tindle defeated Kirk Kuhns in the first round of eliminations and then turned it red by -.031 second round.  The team is steadily improving in performance and is hoping to capture the first win of the season at final JEGS Promod Challenge event - the ACDelco Las Vegas Nationals, October 30 – November 2.
